I haven't had any issues with Alcatel and the 877.  Maybe experiment 
with the "dsl operating-mode" command?

I have, however, confirm the same massive stability problems with 
12.4(11)T on the 877W... it reboots every 15-20 minutes for me. 
12.4(9)T is fine.  The traceback addresses / PC register are the same in 
every crashinfo file, though the current running process is not always 
the same.  So it's clearly a bug, I just can't tell what feature 
triggers it yet.

I also tried 12.4(11)XJ and had the same stability issues there; not 
surprising as it's based on 12.4(11)T... :)

I'm going to try to find time this week to open a TAC case and get back 
to troubleshooting it.
